Quick tip from TARGETjobs if you’re researching employers for applications or interviews:

‘Google the name of an employer you want to apply to, combined with words such as ‘strategy’, ‘business plan’ and ‘annual report’. Note any useful insights you gain.’

Using LinkedIn to the max

Posted on December 2, 2013 by pdcinfoteam

Would you like to really hone your LinkedIn skills and profile to help in your job search?

If so, take a look at a book we have in the PCC called How to REALLY use LinkedIn by Jan Vermeiren. This book explores how to get the most out of LinkedIn and use it most effectively.

The book covers both the basic and the more advanced aspects of LinkedIn with answers to all kinds of questions which may crop us as you explore using LInkedIn.

Come into PCC and have a look at it when you’ve got a few minutes to spare.
